Prescription Numbers To Consider
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009While you are pointing fingers at our health care, consider this:
1/3 of all prescriptions by a doctor ever get filled…which means that
2/3 of all people who get prescriptions never even go to the pharmacy
Of the 1/3 of people who get their prescriptions filled…
Only 1/3 will take it as directed
Which means that
1/9 of all prescriptions are getting filled and taken as directed.
